Ken and Cally Hardaker are 50-something empty nesters who love traveling. But when they're not on the road, they are at home in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia -- a fabulous place to live. The central message of their blog Dodgy Knees is that older travelers -- what they call 50 and overs for want of a better description -- can travel independently, just as younger travelers do. With a bit of planning and a few handy tools, they claim you can do it on a budget, and go to places you thought you could only go to on an organized group trip.
